THE undersigned, thankful for the very liberal \ patronage extended to him since the opening of the ■■ % jnjjjkY above establishment, informs his Irieuds and the 1 1 i ifiOE traveling public, that his house w ill be re-opened on FRIDAY, 20th OF MAY. In addition to the many comforts and amusements afforded his guests heretofore, the subscriber has IMPROVED AND ENLARGED HIS ACCOMMODATIONS, in such a manner as enables him to say that he can accommodate ail who may favor him with a visit, and render their stay agreea ble and satisfactory in every respect. It matters not whether the traveler is in search of health, amusement—either or both—the Chalybeate is the place at which his wants can be satisfied. The Waters are fine, “Chalybeate and Sulphur,” and will cure as many diseases as any one person ought to have. T IIE BA Tli S are excellent and arranged with a view to comfort. The quantity of water is not quite as great in volume as that discharged by Niagara, bill there is plenty and to spare for the ablutions of any number ot Bathers not engaged in ditching for Gas Works, or operating in Coal Holes : and as this i9 not the class of visitors who have heretofore found the Chalybeate, the proprietor trusts that his friends will find no scarcity of that necessary element of navigation. While he will have oceans of waterfer his temper ance friends, he will remember to keepa good supply of Wines for those who prefer a spirit level to a water course, lest too great a tendency to Hydropathy might cause them to be regarded as “soakers.” In a word, the proprietor has been crowded every season since he has had charge of the Springs; and as he feels satisfied that all who have called on him will give good report, send their friends, and cull again when they pass this way, he is determined to leave nothing undone to kee p bis place ‘‘right side “ P ’ TO INVALIDS good fare and good cheer are as necessary as good water, and as j none of these things are particularly disagreeable even to such, as ‘< from their healthfulness, are traveling certificates of the salubrity I oftiie land they live in, the subscriber feels that he Is safe in say ing the Chalybeate and its Proprietor are the elements “to drive dull care away.” From Geneva, on the Railroad twenty miles east of Columbus, Four Horse Coaches run daily to the Springs ; from Barnesville tri-weekly. At West Point,’ on the Montgomery Railroad, at LaGrange, Pleasant Hill and Greenville, comfortable Hacks can always be had to bring visitors to the Springs. Facilities for leaving to any point, can be had every da). The only difficulty to the traveler is to make up his mind to o ! Call and svetbe undersigned, and if liedoes not make you comfortable, it will be because you are harder to please than any one that he has encoun tered as yet, and that is saying a good deal.

[From the New Orleans Delta.] NEWS FROM MEXICO. Death ol Mr. Lucas Alaman, Minister of For. eitru Affairs—Rumored Changes in the Cabi net— Altiman’s Successor, D. Manuel Diez de Bonilla—High Funeral Honors Paid to Ala man—General Intelligence. By the steamer Texas, from Vera Cruz, we have received files of papers from that city to the Bth, and fiom the city of Mexico to the 4th instant. benor Lucas Alaman, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, died in the capital at two” o’clock on the morning ot the 2d inslant. His death caused a great sensation and sorrow through the Capital as soon as it was announced. He had lost his consciousness since the preceding night, and died in a state of insensibility. His death is said to have been caused oy the exces sive labor which he had imposed upon himself since he got into office. He was one ot the most popular members of the Cabinet, and was universally esteemed for his private qualities, no less than for his noble talent as a statesman. He was the lead er of the conservative party, who will fell his loss v r ery heavily. Ho was known as a man of strong ntind, greet instruction and eru dition, sincerity and firmness. He was a very religious man, and a strict observer ot his creed. He had long held a prominent political position in the country. Ali the papers are filled with obituary notices, ot the most lauda tory description. The death of Senor Alaman left a vacancy in the Cabinet, which, it was thought, the President would find some difficulty in filling satisfactorily. We give the various rumors which were at first reported in the papers I Some said that M. Tornel would take Alaman’s place, and Suarez Navarro would be .Minis ter of War. Others said that M. Diez de Bo nilla would succeed Alaman, that Lares would be Mi ‘iste l of the Interior, and that bishop Clemente Munguia would be appointed Min ister of Justice and Religion. Others affirm ed that Lares would take the Ministry of For eign Affairs, and Bishop Munguia that of Jus tice Others declared that ail the present Min istry would retain their seats, and that the va cancy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be filled by the appointment of M. Castillo y Lanzas. The Universal, of the 4th, says that it has just been assured that the person appointed by Santa Anna to succeed Sr. Alaman in the Min istrv ol Foreign Affairs, is D. Manuel Diez de Donilla, and Congratulates the country on the choice ot such a man for that important post. ’1 he President ordered a letter to be written, in his name, to the family of the deceased, in which he sympathizes with them for the loss they have sustained in the death of a man of such abilities as a statesman, such integrity and patriotism as a citizen, and gifted with such noble qualities as justly- commanded uni versal respect. Sr. Alaman was buried on the 3d, in the Church of Jesus of Nazareth. A large con course of people was present, and apparent ly impressed with the solemnity of the cere monies. A solemn service was to be held in nine days again. One of the papers announces that Gen, Arista, instead of going to Europe, stopped on the way in order to go to Washington. Two executions took place in Vera Cruz on the 29th, in consequence of the late riot in that city. The prisoners were tried accord ing to the general ordinance of the army. It was proved that Aparicio Gonzales and Victoria Valle were at the head of the in surrection, and the former was condemned to death. Aparicio Gonzales and Carlos Centeno were shot on the 28th at 11 o’clock in the morning. The escort ordered out for this pur pose belonged to the National Guard, already incorporated in the Seventh of the Line, and the Artillery. Anew tariff was to be promulgated in Mexi co on the4th of June. The President of the Republic has granted an exequateur both to Alexander Pleasants, United States Consul at Minatitlan, and to Jo seph Bernard, appointed by the French Lega tion as Vice Consul at Puebla. One Jose Maria Alvarez was executed on the 12th of May at Mazatian, for robbery on the highways. Tranquillity is resorted in Chiapas. The chief of the insurgents, named Zevadua. was killed lately in a conflict with the troops. Don Jose” Raman Pacheco is appointed Min ister to Fiance. The Ortega brigade, which had left for Vera Cruz on the news of the riot, returned to the Capital on the 2d instant, there being no need of their services in Vera Cruz. ’I he decree against the press has killed off nearly all the journals in ihe country. A decree was published on the 20th ultimo, suppressing avuntarnientos in all localities which are neither capitals of states, nor pre fectures, nor districts. Another decree repeals that of the 24th of January, by which Cevallos had reduced to four per cent, the duty of exportation on coin. The duly of six per cent, is, therefore, re stored. The Minister of Fnmenlo , M. Velasquez de Leon, has addressed to th,- General Adminis tration of Mails a note, in which he asks for information on the condition of the roads, and those which require repairs He has also, in a circular, requested all the Governors to in form him completely on commercial, agri cultural and mining statistics of their Mates, their population, extent, climate, wealth, etc The Minster of Justice has made inquiries of the Governors about the number of tri bunals and Judges in each State, in order to effect the best organization, and a uniformity in the administration ofjustice in all the re public. He recommends prayers to the Most High tor the good of the country. Daily complaints are made against the ir regularity of the mails between Mexico and Vera Cruz. The Indians are as active as ever in their depredations. Durango and Nueva Leon seem to be their headquarters. Xfw Oscillating Engine. —Samuel Montgome ry, a young mechanic ot Baltimore, has just patented an oscillating steam engine. He claims for it in his letters patent, that it con sumes much less fuel than others, and that its extr me simplicity is a desirable objed; that it works without an eccentric cross head or slides, and having but one truuion. obtaii s a desideratum long and anxiously hoped for. That it w >ll always invariably work up to its power, lor the reason that it has neither an ec centric cross-head or slides; besides, in its operation there is much 1 ss wear and tear and friction than < n a y other engine extant. The model has been in operation, examined by eminent engineers, and by them pronounced a good invention. A few years since two or three gentlemen hearing tliat there were indications of the pres ence of some valuable mineral on a lot of ground in East Tennessee, containing about one hun dred and forty acres, concluded to purchase it; and did so, for about one thousand dollars.— About a year since, they made sale of the same land lor thirty thousand dollars, and within a few weeks past the same land was sold for the very large sum of three hundred thousand dol ars. [From the Spirit of the South.] A Confession. We regard the move on the part of some of the quandatn Whigs in Columbus recently, in a public meeting, as a confession, an open, pub lic confession, that ihe whig party no longer exists. This has long been believed by many, acknowledged by some, and acted upon as a fixed fact by others. For months all has been confusion in the old whig ranks, all consterna tion and dismay among their leaders, while the hearts of many veterans upon the old battle fields of whig renown, have failed because of the fear of the sudden destruction which they have felt inevitably awaits their party. We regard it as settled that the whig party, South at least, has “shuffled off its mortal coil the recent eminent failure in convention at .Montgomery to reorganize, is potent evidence of the fact. The meeting above alluded to in Columbus about the same time, >n which not the slightest allusion was made, not a word of euloginm pronounced, or a passing tribute of respect paid in memory of the once renowned old whig guard, is still stronger confirmation upon this point. Without apology or explanation, they unceremoniously doffed the name of whig, and titled themselves the “Conservative party.” But what means this new name, this new mush room party l Is another federal aggression con templated, are other attacks upon the rights of the South brewing for some future time ? It must be so ; or why is this “Conserva'ive par ty,” this marshalling of conservative forces so early, to counsel and compel submission ? Such a party can have no other signification. What does a Conservative party mean ? A party op j posed to States Rights, and resistance to feder al usurpation. Can there be any need for such a party at present, except to prepare for such an other crisis as the recent infamous compromise measures occasioned ? “Conservatives,” what use are they here, except to counsel submission to aggression on our rights? At the North, such a party might have some pertinence ; here it has none. There, there is need of such a party to keep down ultraism in every shape ; here, there is need of one, to stimulate to a proper appreciation of our rights, and to encourage a spirit to maintain them. A State Rights party is to preserve inviolate the rights of the States, from encroachments on the part of the general government; a Conservative party, to justify and encourage them. But who so rabid as to clamor about State rights, when they are not infringed; and who, but a “conservative,” will or can oppose resistance to such infringement. A Conservative party, then, means a party opposed to State rights, and in favor of succum bing to any measure of federal policy, however obnoxious to our section,or our interests, It is said coming events east their shadows before them, and we can divine nothing in this new party move, save the foreshadowings of coming aggression upon the South. We have confi dence in the present adminstration, however, and believe we are secure, at least for the pres ent. For one reason we are glad to see this new party move. It will afford an opportunity for j all pure Stale rights men to quit the ranks of consolidationists and federalists, and range themselves where their instincts, their patriot ism and their interests prompt them to stand.— Let others unite and call themselves “Conserva tives,” it is upon a Southern and State rights party the South is to rely. Conservatives South and UUraists North, in our judgment, seems reversing the proper order of things, and portends anything but good to the South. Another Reported Official Defalcation. A Washington correspondent of the New York Times says “It is reported in high quarters that important de velopement will soon he made, touching a financial operation, by which the treasury has been made to bleed. The Democratic version of this sto ry is as follows : An Ohio man, named Mi nor, oblained from Secretary Corwin upwards of a year ago, a transfer draft on New York for the sum ot SIOO,OOO, Minor agreeing to place the amount in good hands in New Orleans, within a specified time ; this he failed to do, alleging that the institution in which he deposited the money had failed. Minor was recommended to the Secretary as responsible and honorable by the President of a bank tr Insurance Company in Ohio, and several letters in rela'ion to him passed between Mr. Cor win and oilier parties. Five thousand dollars of the money have been recovered, but the balance, it is said, will be a total loss. It is hoped that the late Secretary will explain, in due lime, the details ol this transaction.” Sad Suicide. —Olinda Doane, a young wo man of Herwich, in this State, committed sui cide on the 23d ult., under the most touching and distressing circumstances. She was a very respectable woman, and had been but a few weeks married. The circumstances of Iter death we find related in an exchange as fol lows : For a year or so previous to her marriage, she had received visits from a respectable young man by the name of Hall, to whom she was en gaged to be married. Herparen s opposed her choice, and favored ihe suit of a widower of considerable property named Doane. Hall soon after married another, when the parents of the deceased prevailed on her to marry Doane. The friends were invited, hut before the time for the ceremonies lo commence, the young lady ex cused herself and retired. Not returning, her sister went to her room, saw blood on the mir ror and on the floor, went to the bed, and turning down the clothes, found her sister with her throat cut and her bridal robes saturated with blood. Assistance was called, her wound dres sed, and she recovered. Soon after she was married, since which time she has been occa sionally deranged. Sne fainted in church a few sabbaths since, on seeing Hall and his wife en ter; and last Monday week, at 2 o’clock, P. M., while the god of day animated all nature with his refulgence, she stole from the authors and scenes of her ruin, to close this tale of suffering and wrong.— Springfield [Af/.vs.] Republican.

It fortunately exploded from the bottom, which pro jected it upwards like a rocket.

[From the Louisville Journal, May 30.1 The Great Southern Movement. THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION—INDUSTRIAL ANI) COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE SOUTH. We look to this body with a strong feeling of confidence. There is at least one element of practicability in the objects avowed, which must command the attention of the convention ; we mean direct trade not as in days past, when it was meaningless, but direct trade modernized. This direct trade aims at results in a plain way. and if the movement fail it will be from the most inexcusable negligence of the South itself. The feature in this movement which attracts most at tention is the proposition to form a continental depot for raw cotton, and also to spin our cotton into yarns lor foreign markets. The idea of a continental depot to resist the monopoly is colossal and truly American in all its hearings. The releasing of great American staple from the selfish monopoly ol England is an object devoutly to he desired. The question is not mere Southern (although directly interes ting to planters) but it is peculiar interest to the manufacturing progress of the great West, and that empire west of the Ohio and Mississippi. A continental depot of cotton will give another stimulus to the culture of cotton. The removal of the restrictions from the intercom se of the neighboring provinces of Prussia and Austria lias opened up a consuming interest of over sev enty millions of people. English monopoly, however, still keeps us from direct contact with that population. Restored peace and confidence on the con- j tinent have advanced still more the cotton man- I nfactures there ; but English monopoly checks j that advance, by compelling continental capi- j tal to buy in Liverpool. Consumption has tin i evident tendency to expand on the continent, ! but the manufacturer must pay a transit tax ol j 33 per cent before he can spin his cotton. Cani- j tal goes begging at 1 1-2, 2, and 2 1-2 per cent, hut fears to invest in cotton, which goes np or down at the beck or nod of British capital. The continent is the largest consumer ofcotton, tak- \ ing besides ils 400,000 or 300,000 hales of j raw cotton, also two thirds of what England! herself manufactures. Yet that continent is j ignorant of us, and we of the continent. There- ! fore, we say, that the formation of a eontirien- j tal depot ol'cotton is a question of the first magnitude for it extends consumption, stimulates production, and prevents monopoly and fluctua tion. The question naturally arises, llow is this depot to he formed ? It is the answer to this which gives us most satisfaction, and we are sincerely rejoiced that, after so many years of j vain longings, we begin to see our way clear, j We are glad, also, to have it in our power to ! give some assurances on this head. From inti- i (nations from time to time in the Baltimore and Washington papers, we have noticed the grad ual progress of a correspondence upon this subject. We published the other day, an an nouncement entitled to our full confidence, by tbe National Intelligencer, that this correspon dence is satisfactorily closed and the agent of a wealthy and powerful European Company visits America, and will he in Memphis during the convention. This gentleman comes fully em powered to act as he may deem best. If he I does not reach Memphis in time, authorized i propositions will be made. A house in Balti more has taken hold of the matter there, and we understand that one of our best Louisville houses contemplates establishing a direct trade house in New Orleans. These houses being opened in Baltimore and New Orleans, with full powers and ample facilities to advance, the cotton planters will then have the last propo sition before them. What is this proposition? To ship direct through well known Southern houses to anv port in Europe, either through Baltimore or New Orleans. To make the whole matter more simple and safe, it is proposed that each plan ter send a small proportion of his crop. By this means the result will he known to a greater j number, and if nothing is gained, why the ordi nary course of business is not disturbed. This seems fair and simple. There can be no risk and no objection, and so important a matter de mands a trial even if there should he a loss by it. In the unhoped-for event of loss by having the shipments thus judiciously small, it would not amount to anything worth mentioning. If, upon the return of the account sales, the plan ters find the results satisfactory, they will need very little urging to repeat the shipment. Men follow their interest. It is contended that df rect trade is to the interest of the planter. The means are ready—let it be tried. We look to the convention to take this subject early in the day ; appoint a special committee ; let them call for information ; let those who expect to participate in the trial come forward with their propositions, and let their names go forth to the planters. Our merchants may say that this is not the usual order of business. Never mind ; the planters will appreciate those who shall have the moral courage to come forward and take the lead. It will not injure the general business of a good house. We now come to a hasty glance at the pro position to put our raw cotton into yarns for foreign export. Like the formation of a conti nental depot, this must he demonstrated and eventually carried out, by private enterprise. England now sells to the continent nearly fifty millions of dollars annually of cotton yarns. This enormous market for English industry is, as we before stated, constantly expanding. In comparison with the continent, England is a small consumer. She manufactures largely, hut reships to the continent in yarns and cloth. There have been several shipments from the United States to England of yarns and they sold well. But the general profits of the Uni ted States being better, and the parties not wishing to extend their business so far, the trade was not cultivated. These shipments were from Northern factories. But it is believed that yarn can be spun at the South hnd sold in successful competition with English yarns on the continent. It costs thirtv-throe out of every hundred bales to get cotton (according to the present system) from tbe interior to Manchester. There the cotton has to be spun into yarns, and re shipped to the continent. Besides this, there is a loss involved in spinning cotton in foreign countries and artificial means have to he used to prepare the staple for working. Now, does the difference in England of the price of labor, of money, and of the perfection of machinery and combination of capital, overcome tliat 33 per cent., transit tax ? Then there is the waste which is saved at the South. There is trans portation of the yarn fiom England to the continent. The difference of freight is never equal to the difference in distance. It would cost England almost as much to ship her yarns to France as to Australia. Be that as it may, we believe that England cannot overcome the cost of getting her cotton in the spinning of yarns. We can see no good reason why we should ship our cotton in bales. If it isprudent to gin it, is it not a saving also to spin it ? Why not ship sugar in the cane? The reason of our failures heretofore arises, we think, from our attempting too much. Spin yarns at first Our ideas ot the superiority of England in the spinning of yarns, are derived from results many years hack. Now, since then there have been many changes, especially in the perfection of machinery, there by doing away with an immense amount of hu man labor, substituting machinery for it. This consideration very materially reduces the item of expense under the head of “labor.” Fuel is an other heavy item expense. We have that along side of our cotton. Iron also. There remains then nothing but the difference in labor, p‘ice of money, and combination of capital, to over come. Are they equal to thirty-three per cent. ? We think not. Like the formation of a continental depot for cotton, this must bo tried. How is this to done? In answer we reply, that a few bales, say one or two hundred, will be sent to the best point and spun into yarns of a certain No. on toll.— T he yarns thus spun will he sent abroad and sold in the market. The returns will show the result. We are informed tliat a party of spir ited and enterprising gentlemen are engaged in carrying out this feature also. The mat ter of fact business-like appearance there fore of litis direct trade movement commands tiie approbation of our judgment, if these tti tls demonstrate the advantages contended for, I the whole South and the whole Union will he J benefited by it. If these advantages are not 1 sufficient to induce further action, why no harm ! is done, and a great deal of useful information ; ‘t ill have been obtained to guide others in the i ! future. For whatever may be the result of a ) | premature movement, (if this should prove to | be premature,) at some not distant day there | will be built up a depot on the continent inde pendent of England, and the south w ill event ually put her cotton into yarns. There may be those doubtful to-day who will live to see a j bale of cotton, as an article of foreign export, | a curiosity. The Atlanta Rank. | We had an interview yesterday with Mr. 8. j C. ILgginson, the President of this Institution ; ’ and having copied an arncle on the 2 st ult. ! from the hrmrie'e cj- Sentinel and heard many rumors tending to excite distrust and prejudice j againstthe Bank and its managers, e telt it to ; he due to the public as well as to the corpora- j tors of the Bank, to make such inquiries of Mr. Higginson as to its present condition and fu- ! lure prospects, as would satisfy the public con- j j fidence of the Aon//4/e intention of the Direc- j ! tors to manage its affairs in strict accordance j ! with its charter and the I tws of the Slate. It I j is due lo Mr. Higginson to say that his con- ; versation, and answers to our inquiries were j unreserved, and he gave us every assurance ; that the affairs of the Bank will be regulated j according to the best and strictest rules of | banking, and with reference to the public in I te rests. In addition to these assurances Mr. Hig in- ! son exhibited to us a letter, of recentdate. from i the cashier of o e of the soundest hanking ‘ institutions of the city of'New York, to a hank j officer in Bouth Carolina, in which the writer j states, that George iSmith, Esq., who is repre : j sented to be the principa stockholder in the j | Atlanta Bank. i3 estimated to be one of the j wealthiest bank rs in Chicago. From these represntations. as well as from the known characters of the gentlemen in ; Georgia who applied for and obtained the I charter of this Bsnk fi om our Legislature, we ! hardly think “there is a deliberate design to use this Bank charter for fraudulent pur- I i poses.” Mr. Higginson informs us, that the directors in tend to pursue a legitimate banking Inkiness at Atlanta, and to furnish the business c.iMnuniiy of that place, with all reasonable monied facilities. If, however the business of that place will not require all the circulation of the Bank,it is then the inten tion of the directois. as it is their rig t, and as all other Banks do, to send iheir Bills to Cli.eugoorto any other point, where they have credit. nd where their circulation is likely lo be wanted. The Chi cago Banks, are reqnirs (I by Law to deposit State stocks as security, for the amount of thrir cirrul t i m, and heme they a lack ihe issue of other in- i t utions whose circulation there, is Iwsed upon Ihe personal responsibility of the Stockholders only— Mr. Higginson informs us further, that jj*T i 1,( 0) of the capital rtock of die Atlanta hank have been paid iu, ami the balance of f;,300,000 capital w II he paid in as fast as wanted. The bank has now in its vault $5J,000 in specie, which perhaps exceeds the amount of its circulation; as, how ever, a state ment of the affairs o’ this institution, will shortly he published, we will i ot enter into further particulars. In concluding these statements we may be per mitted to express ihe hope, that the affairs of this institution may be managed in stir It it milliner, as not to reflect injuriously upon the character of Georgia. Her Banking institut ons never enjoyed, and deservedly so, s higher credit, nor were never more sound and flourishing that at present. In former times the confidence of our people has been j dreadfully abused and they have been shstmfnllv swindled by heartless speculations in B ink clmriers. And no matter for what cause, nor with how little reason, the failure of one of our Banks, casts sus picions and distrusts over ihe minds of the people ■ gainst all other banks, and thus our sobent i.isti utions are made innocent sufferers, on account o* the mi-mmagemen of Banks with which they itad no connexio — Sax.

But there are some prineiples bearing upon the question of their circulation which, it seems to us, should not be overlooked 1. The public do not know what its circula tion now is, nor have they any means ot knowing. 2. There is no restriction upon its issues They may issue five million dollars of this mo ney, ts they choose, and it the people will take them 3. They are not responsible and do not pre tend to be responsible tor its issues any further than the law of Georgia makes them respon sibly. And if the bank breaks, when there is a million of its bills in circulation, the hill holders have no remedy but to pocket their losses. 4 If those bills go into general circula tion. there is an end to banning under the general law of this State. Our currency will speedily be composed of shinplasters 5. George Smith & Company wt 1 rot take the paper of individuals without knowing their con ition, and without having it well en dorsed.

Geo. smith & Cos. stipulated that if the suit of the State against tuem was withdrawn they would wind up the shinplas er business and come under the general banking law of the State.
